Woodworking

I picked up woodworking in school, thanks to access to the woodshop in Columbia’s Makerspace. Here are some of the things I’ve made since.

Cutting boards

For $5, my roommate and I were able to get unlimited scrap wood from a luxury furniture designer in Brooklyn. We used it to make cutting boards.

Watch trays

Made using the same scrap wood and a CNC router. I made the round ones by 3D modeling them in Blender before CNCing.

Bookends

A gift for my brother’s graduation from UChicago. Inscribed with quotes from his favorite books on a laser cutter, with metal bottoms cut on a water jet.

Vinyl bin

A box with mitered corners made out of plywood to store some of my vinyl records. I used a hand router to make handles in the sides.

Speaker stands

Stands for my speakers to isolate them and bring them up to listening height.
